Arpin International Group has appointed its Vice-President Asia-Pacific Region, Michael Johnsen, to its global leadership team.

Johnsen will continue to serve in his present role as vice-president of the Asia-Pacific region and will take on the additional duties of the global leadership team immediately. The team’s membership is comprised of representatives from Arpin’s sales, operations, information technology, customer service, and executive administration departments focussed on its international division.

Peter Arpin, Executive Vice President of Arpin Group and President of Arpin International Group said, “Michael has been instrumental in developing our presence in the Asia-Pacific region while helping to streamline the supply chain management for Arpin’s global clientele. He has led by example with over two decades of experience launching and growing businesses in the expanding APAC markets. We are looking forward to having Michael on the global leadership team and know that his knowledge and experience will have an immediate impact.”

Michael Johnsen joined Arpin International Group in 2013 and has held several management positions since. He has mentored some of Arpin’s top talent, including Michael Hughes, the company’s recently promoted vice president of global business development, who began his career with Arpin as assistant general manager under Johnsen. In addition to his current roles, Michael also oversees the day-to-day management of Arpin’s offices in China, Hong Kong, Australia, and Singapore.

He lives with his wife and five-year old son and daughter in Singapore.
